Presented to the States on 3rd January 2018 by the Minister for Treasury and Resources

STATES GREFFE

2018  R.2

REPORT

Background

On 22nd September 2009, during the debate on the Draft Annual Business Plan 2010 (P.117/2009),  the  fourth  amendment –  P.117/2009 Amd.(4) –  was  adopted  by  the States as amended. A new Objective 7' was inserted, by this amendment, into the Annual Business Plan 2010. The new Objective stated –

"Objective 7: Transparency and Accountability in relation to grants

Success criteria:

1. All  organisations  receiving  grants  from  the  States  submit  their accounts  to  be  published  as  a  report  to  the  States;  subject  to  a de minimis limit, namely that accounts are only to be published for organisations receiving a grant of £5,000 or more or where the grant represents more than 50% of the total income of the organisation, except  where  to  do  so  would  breach  confidentiality  agreements, Codes of Practice or legislation such as Data Protection legislation.
2. A full list of all grants, including amounts, made by each Department is included as an Appendix to the Annual Accounts of the States and listed by Department with no de minimis level for this listing, except where to do so would breach confidentiality agreements, Codes of Practice or legislation such as Data Protection legislation."

N.B. The de minimis limit originally set has since been changed, following discussions between the proposer and the Treasury and Resources Department.
